Naomi Biden, president’s granddaughter, is married at the White House

Naomi Biden married Peter Neal on the South Lawn of the White House late Saturday morning, in the first wedding for a presidential family member held on the grounds since the Clinton era.

The impressive backdrop almost made up for cold temperatures. President Biden’s eldest granddaughter donned a long-sleeve, ballgown-style wedding dress with a high lace collar on a blue-sky, 40-degree day. The White House’s south portico was decorated with white and green flower garlands, and a floral arch and wreaths festooned the doors. The decor was faintly visible to a crowd of uninvited journalists and onlookers, who huddled outside the White House perimeter with telephoto lenses and ineffective phone cameras.
